Jollibee shows what makes the cheese-beef combination of Cheesy Yumburger truly “Yummy Together”

For those who are looking for a great-tasting, budget-friendly cheeseburger, Jollibee’s Cheesy Yumburger is known to be “Cheesy, Beefy Langhap-Sarap” for a reason.

The original Yumburger has always been placed on a pedestal for its aromatic and flavorful beef patty, hence it being known as the “beefiest, langhap-sarap” beef burger. Coming from an iconic and highly acclaimed base of the Yumburger’s beefiest patty, Jollibee’s Cheesy Yumburger variant lets you discover the delectable and savory combination of cheese and beef.

From this combination, you get an elevated experience from the aroma to the taste of the beef patty, creamy cheese, special burger dressing, and soft buns.

McDonald’s Philippines celebrates World Bicycle Day with its second Tour De McDo

McDonald’s Philippines President and CEO Kenneth S. Yang together with cycling participants at McDonald’s Quirino Mabini for its 2nd Tour de McDo last June 4.

After the success of its first Tour de McDo, McDonald’s Philippines hosts its second community bike ride in celebration of World Bicycle Day. The latest ride brought together several cycling communities and personalities simultaneously in three key areas across the country – Pampanga, Intramuros, and Tagaytay. 

Tour de McDo is a multiple-stage bike challenge introduced under McDonald’s Green and Good campaign – the QSR giant’s initiative to do better for the environment by implementing sustainable and alternative solutions in their restaurants and operations. Through Tour de McDo, McDonald’s encourages its customers to explore a healthier lifestyle for themselves and for the environment, while also highlighting various scenic cycling routes that pass through McDonald’s stores equipped with bike-friendly features.

Earlier this year, Tour de McDo’s first round highlighted McDonald’s fifth flagship Green and Good store–the McDonald’s Nuvali, Sta. Rosa branch. McDonald’s Nuvali, the QSR giant’s 700th store nationwide, boasts its bike-friendly features, utility-efficient solutions, and green building solutions. Aside from its sustainable restaurant innovations, the strategic location of the store makes it an ideal stop for the strong cycling community in Nuvali. 

Celebrating World Bicycle Day with its second Tour de McDo

Following its success and strong demand from cycling communities, the sophomore ride now features three new scenic routes to cater to the different levels of cycling: Manila, Intramuros for the beginner route (20KM), Clark, Pampanga for the intermediate route (34KM), and Tagaytay for the advanced route (48KM). 

Almost 100 participants joined the event and received Tour de McDo kits, which include an exclusive Tour de McDo Dri Fit shirt, Tour de McDo limited-edition stickers, and a McDonald’s breakfast meal, all for free. 

“For a long time, our McDonald’s stores have played an integral role in many bike rides as a stopover or pit stop. This gave us an opportunity to find more ways to bring together the interests of our customers and care for the planet, under our Green and Good campaign. By promoting sustainable active mobility through Tour de McDo, we hope to encourage more people to get on a bike, so we can collectively do our part in lessening CO2 emissions,” shared McDonald’s Philippines President and CEO Kenneth S. Yang. 

McDonald’s stores featured in the various routes were: McDonald’s Quirino Mabini, McDonald’s Clark CM Recto Pampanga, McDonald’s Porac Pampanga, McDonald’s Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, and McDonald’s Delos Reyes, Tagaytay all offer bike-friendly features such as a Bike & Dine facility, so that cyclists can dine in with the safety of their bikes. The stores also opened dedicated Bike Repair Stations that offer free use of tools for any basic repairs. 

Introducing the Cyclists Meal for weekend bike rides this June

Extending the celebration of World Bicycle Day all throughout the month, McDonald’s Philippines introduces its Cyclists Meal, a special McDonald’s App offer available for all weekends of June 2023. Cyclists who go on weekend rides can pass by any McDonald’s store and present the Cyclists Meal voucher on the McDonald’s app to get a Cheesy Eggdesal with Sausage and a Medium McCafe Iced Coffee Original for only 99 pesos.

Father’s Day: How Ka-panDads juggle part time jobs to support family

A growing number of Filipino workers are turning to freelancing for an alternative yet reliable source of income, and its number is still expected to rise further as the country continues to recover from the harsh effects of the pandemic. As revealed by Payoneer's 2022 report on the Philippines freelance market, there are about 1.5 million freelance workers in the Philippines, including delivery partners of online delivery platforms.

 

Many of these delivery freelancers are fathers, who are often the breadwinner of the family. As a leading online food and grocery platform, foodpanda has become an avenue for many of them to support the needs of their family.

 

Being a delivery freelancer allows them to simultaneously take on numerous jobs on the side or work depending on their availability. These super dads are aided by foodpanda to earn extra income, have more flexible schedules, and still manage their own time.

 

As we celebrate Father's Day, foodpanda honors the perseverance and grit of their Ka-panDads by putting their stories in the spotlight for their sacrifices and hard work for their families.

White is the color of fun this year as Ginebra San Miguel Inc. (GSMI), the maker of the world’s no. 1 selling gin, is celebrating World Gin Day (WGD) in a “cool, clear, and versatile” way. Starting with a media launch on June 8 at The Westin Manila in Ortigas, a series of events will be held to highlight June as World Gin month.

WGD, a global celebration observed every second Saturday of June, is spearheaded in the Philippines by GSMI, as it was also the one who brought the first WGD festivities to the Asia Pacific region back in 2014. That year, GSMI marked the 180th year of its flagship brand, Ginebra San Miguel. Today, gin enthusiasts look forward to GSMI’s month-long activities, which not only celebrate gin’s enduring influence on our drinking culture but also its role in celebrations, fiestas, gatherings, and even our everyday triumphs.

Mang Inasal hailed as ‘best-tasting chicken inasal’ in the Philippines

Mang Inasal Chicken Inasal is recognized by Filipinos as the best-tasting grilled chicken in the country, based on a recent imagery survey conducted by a third-party market research agency.

Held from November to December 2022, the nationwide study asked 800 consumers which grilled chicken they consider best-tasting, among other characteristics. Results showed that over 90% of the respondents pointed to Mang Inasal for having the best-tasting grilled chicken among 40 other brands the consumers were aware of.

“It’s inspiring to know that the people appreciate what we have been working hard for at Mang Inasal for the past 20 years -- which is to give our customers the best-tasting Chicken Inasal every day,” said Mang Inasal Business Unit head Mike V. Castro. “This will surely keep us going in serving more Ihaw-Sarap meals and Unli-Saya moments to all our customers.”

To mark this special milestone, a new video advertisement was produced, featuring Mang Inasal’s long-time brand ambassador, Coco Martin.
